Before 'Star Wars' film reboot, a new animated 'Rebels' - Yahoo News

Now we want a look that's a bit more old school," says Joel Aaron, the show's special effects supervisor.

Spaceships take geometric shapes that seem less than aerodynamic. "It's good if it looks cartoonish," says animation director Keith Kellogg. That said, if a jump does not look realistic enough, it's back to the drawing board. Kellogg says he spends hours making various gestures and expressions to help his team of artists. Those artists recycle various animated movements, but change small details -- the angle of a head, the color palette, the decor -- to keep it fresh. No "Star Wars" series would be complete without the iconic light sabers.

Unlike many film crew members, Henderson won't be packing up and moving immediately after the current incentive sunsets at year's end. His wife, currently in her 18th year of teaching, still has two years left of working here in her retirement plan before she can move. Having previously traveled for film work in years past, Henderson, said that isn't an option at this point in his life. "I traveled for work before I had kids," he said. "And while I have the option to go on the road, I want to be here with my family." While it is unclear what effect the proposed budget will have on the local film industry heading into next year, there is still quite a bit of filming left to be done in 2014. CBS' "Under the Dome" only wrapped production on its second season, airing 10 p.m. Mondays, two weeks ago and a select number of crew, like Henderson, are still winding down the show's presence. Fox's "Sleepy Hollow," which employs around 150-200 crew members, is projected to film through December, as it continues production on expanded 18-episode second season. ABC's 10-episode murder mystery series "Secrets and Lies" started production in the region July 24 and will shoot through Thanksgiving .
